Observations • Chris Paul has eyes behind his head, around his head and on his head. You can’t convince me otherwise. He makes the right play about 95 percent of the time (which is absurdly high). In a millisecond, Paul analyzes the defense and decides the best option. He knows who to pass it to (and where), when[...]

Before the season gets started, three of our writers previewed the season for the Clippers as a team. How far can they go? Let’s see what Charlie Widdoes, Nick Flynt and Mark Shore have to say. 1. Fact or fiction: The Clippers will host a Game 1 in the 2012 playoffs. Charlie Widdoes, ClipperBlog: Barring a[...]

Time is winding down on the clock. The Clippers have the last shot. What do they do?

Jovan has more detailed observations coming up on the final preseason game against the Lakers, but the main thing I personally keyed in on was Mo Williams’s still-disappointing spot-up defensive work. And it reminded me that I really hate how often the Clippers give up good 3-point looks. The Clippers were in the[...]

A long, grueling preseason comes to an end tonight with the second of two games between the Clippers and Lakers. Should be fun watching the new starting backcourt continue to show their new teammates how to identify their defensive repsonsibilities in such a professional manner. We’ll be chatting around game tim[...]
